El Presidio Chapel, a faithful reconstruction of Santa Barbara's first church using the authentic materials and building techniques of early California's Spanish Colonial architecture, is a unique space for your wedding. Furnished with period artifacts, the niches are filled with
statuary, the walls are punctuated with paintings and candle sconces, and the altar is dressed with a reredos (altar piece), altar frontal, and candlesticks. Interior walls and altar rail are painted to represent marble
or tapestry. Site of all of life's ceremonies - weddings, christenings, funerals, community gatherings and church services, the original chapel was built in the 18th century.

Reserve El Presidio Chapel for morning, afternoon or evening weddings. A reception site is available outdoors under the orchard trees.
